Evening drive in the swedish summer. Lovely. I stopped at the local mall and this happen. The previous owner shows up, I had no idéa that he lived in the same village as me. He was really surprised and glad to see it on the road again We fixed the heating problem, it was the valve that was faulty. Thanks for all the help

Thanks all for the help! So nice that all is helping We start to suspect that is the solenoid that the control the valve, located on the firewall. I keep you all updated. @Bean The tires are: Toyo Proxes TR1 205/50 R15.

Project car 3 passed M.O.T today! It has not been on the road since 2004-03-31. Feels great to have it on the road now and we will drive it now during the summer. Since it's a old car we have some issues. The main issue now is the heating, we suspect there is some eletric problems. Issue is that the heating is always on, we have done a quick fix now so heated water is blocked. We have start troubleshooting but we are in need of a electric diagram for the heating system. Anyone that know where we can find it? Here is some picture I took today:

Good work! The car turned out beautiful! Regarding the turbo flange, is this something that could work? https://www.gikturbo.se/shop/performance/flansar/adapter-t3-t25-laby-avg-in/

We use the wiring diagram found on this page: http://peugeot505.info/index.php?id=downloads_manuals&lang=1

Yesterday we did some work on the project car 3. I installed AEM DryFlow Filter. Had an old airbox cover that was already drilled in so modified it to fit the new filter. My father did a new holder so we could reallocated the expansion tank a bit higher up. In the picture below shows the new holder and the old one below. Our plan is to get this car pass car inspection soon and I can start driving it during the summer

Looks really good!

The collector was purchased and my father welded rest of the exhaust manifold. We don't have any manifold for export

Long time no see Will share some update cause we had some progress with our project cars since the last update. I have moved home now from Stockholm, so now I'm close to our project cars and can help out with them. Click on the links to get to the picture gallery of each project. I sorted them in Newest to Oldest. Project car 1 Fitted the stock exhaust from the down pipe, 3" was not practical for now. Have redesinged the rear bumper to stock look for now, just some minor modifications. We have this project temporarily on hold. Project car 2 We had this car in drivable condition. Until someone tought it would be a good ideá to turn up the boost and went out for a test run. That resulted in blown headgasket and radiator. The engine is out of the car and are being fixed, thats why we order the cometic headgasket. Project car 3 We decided to focus on this project due it has the most amount of work. When I moved home from Stockholm, 2 years ago the engine was out and there was alot of body work to do. Now the car has a newly renovated engine in it and have a fresh new paint My father did the painting at home in our shed and the result came out ok. We had to redo the work due to alot of moister in the first coat of paint. Then re-sand the car again and paint it again, not fun at all. Atleast it keep us busy during the COVID-19 summer I installed a car stero for the first time in my life in this car. The head unit is a Pioneer DEH-X9600BT and speakers are 2xRockford Punch 6.5" and 2xRockford Punch 6x9". I sent the stock rims to sand blasting and powder coating then fitted them with Toyo Proxes TR1 205/50 R15 tires. The plan is to get this car approved during spring and then I will use it as summer car I will take more pictures and update here and in the gallery when progress is made. "The barn find" My father did a barn find. When we was fetching the color for the project car 3 the guy how sold the color told us he had a freshly painted Peugeot 505 GTI automatic (1984) standing in the barn... and wanted to get rid of it and he sold it to my father. There was some work to get it running, but the car is now approved and road worthy. My father uses it when the doing some trips out in the woods, it got some higher springs and are excellent for the gravel roads

This summer I order two headgasket from Cometic Gasket. I contacted the nearest distributor, Cometic in UK. Sent them an e-mail and order the gasket with the partnumber H2038059F (standard .059) they also have the H2038043F (custom .043). The shipping took about 3 weeks and the price was £60 for one headgasket and shipping £35. Seams to be good quality compare to other gasket we have use Cometic sent me there blueprint so I tought i would share it.

Very interesting thread! Keep up the good work!

Found this Youtube clip that was uploaded 2017-11-06. To bad there is no subtitles.

Thanks for the reply SRDT and Bean Forgot to mention that I have also purchase and WBO2 sensor (Innovate INN-3796). The right way is to go with an stand alone ECU to get full control, but since we are slowly professing with this build,maybe it will be in the next iteration of this build. But have reading about stand alone ECU system, try to learn more about them and what they can do. Found an Swedish company that makes three different ECU, have looked at there entry level ECU called MaxxECU street.

Couple of month ago I purchased a turbo, the turbo is an Garrett GT2860RS. Also order all the necessary gaskets and an V-band adapter for the exhaust housing. The down-pipe will be 3'' but we must redo the rest of the exhaust system, an lower car with a full 3'' exhaust system is not practical. What do you guys use for boost controllers? I have been looking at an electronic boost controller, the GFB 3004. It seams to have good feature like over-boost warning/cut (since we are bypassing the 505 own over-boost protection).
